I have gone as far back as Aunt Peggy Mckown in Plattsburg here is obt:
June 28, 1901
Peggy Mckown dies at residence of her son William in the w part of town Tues. Buried at Mt Zion near her old homestead. Mrs Mckown was on of the historical characters of the county and is said to have moved here while this was yet part of Caly Co.. She was born in Ky. near Tenn. Line Dec 14th 1812 and moved with her parents, John Livingston and wife, to Mo. while it was yet a territory and she was moved with her husband and child William Mckown to the old homestead about 7 miles nw of town. She was the mother of one child but leaves many children and grandchildren.
